Manually Configuring Privileges
March 7, 2010The manual process for provisioning poses a huge challenge for today’s businesses. Believe it or not, most companies still use manual processes to provision access rights to users.
Step 1 First, when an employee is hired, a new user profile is created and stored in an HR database.
Step 2 A request for access is created.
Step 3 The user profile is compared to a company’s role-authorization policies.
Step 4 The request is then routed for the necessary approval, and
Step 5 Sent to the IT department if approval is granted.
Step 6 Finally, the IT department submits the approved request to various system administrators to provision user access rights.
Step 7 The user is provisioned and the approval is recorded in a history file.
Key Point: Manual provisioning can take up to 12 days or more for each user.
Why, you know why fix it … It’s lost time, lost productivy and lost Revenue !!!!
